Possible Causes
Stuck fan relay on PCB, Faulty flue temperature sensor keeping fan on, Incorrect wiring from external controls
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Continuous fan operation wastes energy and may indicate a control fault.
- Check demand indicators: Ensure there is no call for heat or hot water from external controls.
- Power cycle: Turn off power for 30 seconds and restore. If the fan starts immediately with no demand, the PCB relay may be stuck.
- Sensor check: A technician should test the flue temperature sensor and PCB outputs and replace the faulty component.
